After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.

    Trump is pretty dumb, but I don’t think he’s dumb enough to do that. Jon would eviscerate him.

      He is egotistical enough to think he could go toe to toe with Stewart.

      If he did go on, he would spin his absolute journalistic murder into more fuel for his media hate campaign.
